The word 'broad' is not a phrase; it's a single word. If the NRSV is in the broad range of literal versions, then so is its sister --the ESV.

President Trump needs to do more with crisis. He needs to take draconian measures. There is not nearly enough legitimate testing. South Korea, Singapore and Taiwan are way ahead of us. The leadership of those nations have been proactive, not merely reactive.

"It still lies in the broad range of literal translations."(taken from How to Choose a BIBLE Version by Robert L. Thomas, page 148)

"Like its predecessors, the NRSV is a formal equivalent version." (from How to Choose A Translation for All Its Worth by Fee and Strauss, page 148)

According to D.A. Carson it is "A jolly good translation."

What you have misunderstood as a difference of translational philosophies means that you haven't been paying attention. If others on the BB feel as you do, then there is a brain deficit here. I would hope otherwise.

However you think we got to the place where were are presently with respect to the state of the English language --we are we are. You can't turn back the hands of time. I have occasionally attended KJVO churches in America and South Korea (an American pastor). I have heard pastors say...

No, you are mistaken. It has revolved around complete falsehoods regarding the NIV. The accusations that he has leveled at the NIV, and of course, its translators, have been made up bunk. If it's not in the text --it is completely untrue. Why would a professing Christian continue to say...

In my 14 year history on the BB I have always had the same stance regarding it --that it is an offensive term, and that it is an unnecessary dynamic equivalent.

I am for mediating translations. Why have a dynamic equivalent inserted when a formally equivalent expression such as "May it never be." is perfectly understandable?

I'd support Jim Jordan or Doug Collins.

He's a disgrace.

Junior should not follow in his father's footsteps with respect to running for President. However, I can envision him running for Mayor of New York City. Only two names that you supplied would I consider for the office of the President. And those are Cruz and Pompeo. I have some other favorites...

Hey, you didn't capitalize 'yourself' -- I thought you were initiating a new enterprise in which all pronouns referring to me should begin with a capital letter as you identified me as 'Him.'

This is not specifically about the NIV. It's regarding footnote alternatives in various translations, and why they aren't in the text itself.
